Chapter 384: Picking Actors in Chinese Drama (12,000 per day, ask for subscription~)
At the end of May, Yanjing is expected to be cold in spring, and it is the time when it is easy to catch a cold during the change of season, but as the two most well-known art schools in Yanjing, it has always been at the forefront of social fashion.
Wu Jianye is still the first time to come to Chinese opera, looking at the tree-lined paths of Chinese opera and the simple temperament of the buildings, Wu Jianye said with a smile: "Lao Mouzi, the environment of Chinese opera is much more beautiful than our college." ”
Zhang Yimou said with a smile: "It doesn't matter if it's beautiful or not, we can't read it anyway." ”
Yang Fengliang, the assistant director of "Red Sorghum", said with a smile: "I hope the actress I came to see today is suitable, Director Wu, it's not me complaining to you, I have found several art academies for this actress, but Director Zhang is not satisfied." ”
"That's because you didn't bring Gong Li here!" Wu Jian Yexin said, and then smiled.
"Haha, this is Lao Mouzi's first movie, and he must be striving for excellence!"
Many people have said that Chinese opera students are not allowed to go out to take on dramas during their studies, such as the one who later dropped out of school in order to cooperate with Zhang Guoxuan in filming.
However, this is just a misunderstanding of Chinese opera, Chinese opera actually allows students in their own colleges to go out to film, but at this time, Chinese opera is equivalent to a brokerage company, and it will have high requirements for the director of the film, if it is not a well-known director, it is naturally impossible.
The arrival of Wu Jianye and others naturally aroused the onlookers of the students in the academy, but at this time, the difference between Wu Jianye and Zhang Yimou could be seen.
Although Zhang Yimou served as the photographer of films such as "Yellow Earth" and "One and Eight", in fact, Zhang Yimou came to the Chinese opera to find actors, which has long been spread throughout the Chinese opera.
But when the students of Chinese opera saw Wu Jianye, they directly ignored Zhang Yimou and others, the most well-known directors in China, a total of two films, one won the Golden Lion Award at the Venice Film Festival, and the other won the Best Director Award at the Cannes Film Festival.
In the eyes of these students, Wu Jianye is already a top-notch actor, and now that Wu Jianye has come to the Chinese opera, there are immediately some students who are thoughtful, and they think of the new movie that Wu Jianye wants to prepare.
"Director Liang, I didn't expect to alarm you!"
The arrival of Wu Jianye directly shocked Mr. Liang Bolong, the current director of the performance department of Chinese opera.
"Haha, Director Wu can come to our Chinese opera to select actors, which shows that the teaching of our teachers is quite qualified!" Teacher Liang Bolong laughed.
Then he said hello to Zhang Yimou.
"Director Liang, this time I mainly accompanied Director Zhang to pick actors, my play is actually to pick a few more important supporting roles, Director Liang, you don't have an opinion, right?" Wu Jianye joked.
Liang Bolong said with a smile: "How is it possible, Director Wu's play, being able to play a supporting role, is already a good exercise for these children! ”
Zhang Yimou smiled helplessly, looking at where Wu Jianye and Liang Bolong were talking and laughing, but he could only stand aside, he should have been the protagonist.
Then Liang Bolong welcomed Wu Jianye and the others into the conference room, and then smiled with Zhang Yimou: "Director Zhang, the actress you are looking for has a short film shooting two days ago, and she just came back in the past two days." ”
Zhang Yimou hurriedly smiled: "Then it's troublesome Director Liang." ”
After finishing speaking, he glanced at Wu Jianye, and Wu Jianye smiled: "Let's look at your actor first, I'm a blind cat touching a dead mouse here." ”
Liang Bolong smiled: "Then call that female student in first, let Director Zhang take a look." ”
"I'm sorry Director Liang. ”
Liang Bolong smiled and ordered someone to call the female guard female student.
"Director Liang, can you show me some photos of some students from our school's acting department?" Wu Jianye asked.
"No problem. ”
At this time, there were already a lot of students at the door of the conference room, because the door of the conference room was not closed, so many people heard that Wu Jianye was indeed here to pick actors, and instantly showed an excited expression, although it was only a supporting role, but as long as he participated in Wu Jianye's movie, it would definitely be different immediately.
For example, the 85-level students of their college, Wu Bo participated in Wu Jianye's "The Last Emperor", and he has long become a popular figure in the school.
"Bozi, haven't you participated in Director Wu's "The Last Emperor", it seems that you have a great chance this time. A dark-skinned young man put his arm on Wu Bo's shoulder and said enviously.
Wu Bo showed a look of disappointment: "Han Yu, I'm afraid I'm hopeless, if Director Wu wanted me to participate, he would have notified me directly, where can I still come to the academy to pick actors?"
Holding Wu Bo's shoulders was Zhang Hanyu, who later became famous when he participated in Feng Pants' "Assembly Number", and then became a representative of the tough guy among domestic actors.
Zhang Hanyu and Wu Bo are both classmates of Class 84 of the Department of Chinese Opera Performance, and Fu Biao, who died young, and later his wife Zhang Qiufang.
Zhang Hanyu said enviously: "I don't know who is so lucky to be able to star in Director Wu's movie." ”
Soon there was a commotion among the onlookers, and a girl in a simple loose velvet coat walked over with a ponytail.
"Isn't this Gong Li, Zhang Yimou is here to see her this time!"
"I'm so lucky to be able to cooperate with Zhang Yimou!" someone said enviously.
As I just said, if there is no appearance of Wu Jianye, even the appearance of Zhang Yimou will make the students of Chinese opera very commotion.
"Yes, although this is Zhang Yimou's first movie, I heard that the situation is still very large. ”
With Gong Li's arrival, Wu Jianye could obviously feel that Zhang Yimou next to him was a little excited, although he had no expression on his face.
Of course, this is not to say that Zhang Yimou fell in love with Gong Li as soon as he came up, but he felt that Gong Li was like the actress he was looking for.
"Are you Gong Li?" Zhang Yimou asked first.
Gong Li's answer was also very simple, "Yes, I am." ”
Zhang Yimou continued to ask: "Have you watched "Red Sorghum Family"?"
Gong Li shook her head and said, "I haven't seen it, but I heard that it seems to be a story about anti-Japanese resistance!"
Zhang Yimou handed over a script and said, "Then look at this book and read the lines in this paragraph!"
Gong Li took the script, read it first, and could obviously feel that she was brewing her emotions for a while, and then began to read the script.
However, after listening to Gong Li's lines, Wu Jianye looked a little disappointed, because although Gong Li wanted to brew her emotions into it, it was obvious that she was relatively unfamiliar with this story, so when she read the lines, there was nothing touching about it.
Lin Fengliang, who was next to Zhang Yimou, obviously noticed this, and whispered to Zhang Yimou: "Director Zhang, it seems that I feel too studenty, and I don't know anything about the world, is there still a certain gap with Jiu'er in our "Red Sorghum", after all, which is a slightly desolate but bright and dazzling thorny rose." ”
Although Lin Fengliang deliberately lowered his voice, in the empty conference room, this voice was enough for everyone to hear, and Wu Jianye saw Gong Li showing a disappointed expression.
After listening to Lin Fengliang's words, Zhang Yimou fell into silence, and then glanced at Wu Jianye.
"Don't watch me, it's your own movie, if you feel right for yourself, use it. Wu Jianye said with a smile.
Will Zhang Yimou use Gong Li? The answer is actually obvious.......
After listening to Wu Jianye's words, Zhang Yimou looked at Gong Li again, his eyes stayed firmly on Gong Li's face, and he looked at her motionlessly, Wu Jianye looked at Zhang Yimou's expression, and knew that things had not changed.
Zhang Yimou watched it for four or five minutes, and Gong Li was a little embarrassed by him.
Then Zhang Yimou stood up and said to Lin Fengliang and the others: "It's her!"
is just three words, but it reveals a kind of domineering and tension that is rare in Zhang Yimou.
Lin Fengliang and the others showed a little surprise on their faces, but Gong Li's face was replaced by surprise.
After determining the female lead, Zhang Yimou asked Gong Li to watch more of "Red Sorghum Family" during this time, and told her to get ready, they were going to Phoenix City to film soon.
And Gong Li, who was shrouded in huge surprises, naturally nodded again and again.
After Gong Li left the conference room, Zhang Yimou's face showed a smug smile.
"Lao Wu, I see a spirituality in this actress, and this spirituality is rare for an actor. And this schoolgirl's temperament is classical, pure and unassuming, and I feel that she has a tenacity in her bones. ”
If it were someone else, Zhang Yimou would naturally be impossible to explain, but it was different for Wu Jianye.
Wu Jianye can be said to be the goal of their group of directors now, Wu Jianye's achievements have shown his ability, Zhang Yimou knows that everyone is not very optimistic about Gong Li, but Zhang Yimou hopes to be recognized in Wu Jianye.
"Haha, I think so too. Wu Jianye nodded.
I believe that no one knows Gong Li's achievements in movies more clearly than Wu Jianye, and it is not an exaggeration to say that Gong Li is the first female movie star in the nineties in China, even if it is twenty or thirty years later, Gong Li's acting skills have already been perfected, and other actresses in China are not the same as others.
Wu Jianye remembered that when he was reborn, Gong Li took over the play "Chinese Women's Volleyball", although many people were saying that Gong Li and the image of the iron hammer were different, but Wu Jianye didn't think so.
What makes a good actor.
When the movie appears in the eyes of the audience, sometimes an action and a look are enough to convince the audience that this actor is the character in the movie.
And Gong Li is such an actor.
Hearing that Wu Jianye agreed with his point of view, Zhang Yimou also showed a happy smile.
"How's your actor looking?"
"It's one of the phases. After Wu Jianye finished speaking, he said to Teacher Liang Bolong: "Director Liang, can you call Zhao Zhe, who is in the same class as Gong Li." ”
"Zhao Zhe?" Liang Bolong was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "Yes!"
Wu Bo, who was outside the conference room, had already heard Wu Jianye's voice, and hurriedly said, "Director Wu, I'll help you call!"
Wu Jianye only saw Wu Bo at this time, and said with a smile: "Then trouble you!"
This is actually a small trick of Wu Bo, wanting to make a show in front of Wu Jianye, so that Wu Jianye can deepen his impression.
It didn't take long for the dazed Zhao Zhe to come over with Wu Bo.
Zhao Zhe's appearance is a little unattractive, when it comes to this name, everyone may not have any impression, but when it comes to a TV series, everyone must know who he is.
The three virtues in "Kangxi Weifu Private Interview".
"Director Liang, Director Wu, Director Zhang!" "Now Zhao Zhe is still blindfolded, he naturally knows about Wu Jianye and others coming to the Chinese opera to pick actors, but in his opinion, such opportunities should be the affairs of those handsome male classmates, such as Wu Bo beside him.
There is no extravagant hope, so there is no hope, so Zhao Zhe did not come over with his classmates to watch at all.
But unexpectedly, just now Wu Bo came to him and said that Director Wu wanted to see him, which made his mood become excited.
Wu Jianye obviously felt Zhao Zhe's somewhat nervous expression, and said with a smile: "Don't be nervous, in fact, I just simply ask you two questions." ”
"Hmm!"
"Where's home?" Wu Jianye asked.
"Rongcheng's. ”
"Rongcheng is a good place, and Rongcheng hot pot is a must. Wu Jianye said with a smile.
Zhao Zhe heard Wu Jianye praise the hot pot in his hometown, and his nervousness eased: "Rongcheng hot pot is really good, but there is no authentic Rongcheng hot pot here in Yanjing, if Director Wu has the opportunity to go to Rongcheng, I will definitely introduce you to the best place." ”
"Haha, then it's decided!" Wu Jianye laughed.
Then Wu Jianye asked, "Do you know how to cook?"
Although Zhao Zhe didn't know why Wu Jianye said this, through the hot pot he talked about just now, his mood was not so nervous, and he smiled: "It will be a little." ”
"That knife work must be good!"
Zhao Zhe scratched his head and said with a smile: "You can only simply cut a dish, it's not good!"
Wu Jianye: "Then you have to study hard, because the knife work of that character in my movie is very good!"
"Ah.......h
Zhao Zhe didn't understand what Wu Jianye meant.
Liang Bolong said a little anxiously beside him: "Silly boy, what are you still doing in a daze, don't you hurry up and thank Director Wu, Director Wu is ready to use you!"
Zhao Zhe showed a surprised expression at this time, and hurriedly said: "Thank you Director Wu, thank you Director Wu, I will definitely not let you down." ”
Wu Jianye nodded, he looked for Zhao Zhe to play the role of Diao Buyu in "New Dragon Gate Inn", the gold-inlaid jade cook, the one who specializes in spiced meat buns, and finally relied on the kitchen knife in his hand to slice Cao Shaoqin's legs and arms.......
"But the filming of my film will not start until the second half of the year, if you have other arrangements during this time, you should notify me in advance?" Wu Jianye said.
"There is no arrangement, I am waiting for Director Wu's summons!" Zhao Zhe was a little gibberish excitedly.
"Haha, okay, you go back first!" Wu Jianye said with a smile.
Wu Jianye thought for a while, looked at Wu Bo who looked at Zhao Zhe with some envy, and asked, "I still have a role here, but I want to play the eunuch, and I want to know some fist and foot kung fu, are you interested?"
Wu Bo, who was very envious of Zhao Zhe just now, immediately showed a surprised smile after hearing this: "Yes, yes, I'll find someone to learn kung fu when I go back!"
The three major stalls of the East Factory, except for the big stall head Wu Jianye, there is already a suitable candidate, and the other two have not been, Wu Bo is now clear-eyed, and Wu Qihua has a similar meaning, and it is suitable.
Zhang Hanyu looked at Wu Bo enviously beside him, he just said that there was no play, but he didn't expect to let Director Wu fall in love now, liar......
"That's your classmate, right?"
Zhang Hanyu heard Wu Jianye's voice in the conference room, and then felt a lot of eyes focused on him.
looked up in surprise and found that Wu Jianye was pointing at him.
"Yes, it's my classmate, who usually studies very hard!" Wu Bo hurriedly said.
Then Zhang Hanyu saw Wu Jianye beckoning to him, and he hurriedly walked in excitedly, "Director Wu, I have learned some fist and foot kung fu." ”
Wu Jianye smiled, "That's okay, usually teach Wu Bo more, and you can wait for news together when the time comes!"
Xiong Xinxin plays another stall, although Xiong Xinxin and Zhang Hanyu have different temperaments, but they can also be used.
